Lovely North Scottsdale Home

We spent a fabulous three days at this home. It was clean, well maintained, has lovely decor, comfortable bedding, luxurious towels, great outdoor areas for relaxing and was private. The pictures are accurate but some how don't do the place justice. Would definitely stay there again.

Funky but fun

The house was very clean. The design of the house was super funky, very 70s but very fun. Loved the views of Pinnacle Peak and the desert! The hostess was thoughtful with a welcome bottle of wine and toiletries in the bathroom.

Unique and lovely place.

Our family stayed at this property 2/13-17. It is immaculate and just as the pictures show. There are no surprises. The surrounding scenic mountains and desert are part of the lovely view. This home is close to many golf courses and not far from all Scottsdale shopping and restaurants. There was a leak with the water heater and the owners promptly took care of it. We would love to have the opportunity to stay there again.

The design of the house is interesting and unusual. The place was clean. They provided a lot if simple items that you don't find in a lot of corporate managed rentals these days, such as extra toothbrush kits, shampoo and bath items. Same thing with the kitchen, coffee, bottled water etc. Communication and check in were easy. It's quiet and private. Like any place, it probably needs some maintenance, but it was in a lot better shape than most. Good place if you have a larger vehicle. Good place if you travel with a dog. Very nice grocery stores etc. minutes away. Bumped into the house keeper one day, she was very nice and accommodating. The property was as advertised.

Unique Desert Home

We found the home very unique and appreciated the 70's style architecture. If you were to update any aspects of the property in the future, I would suggested updating the bathrooms and possibly adding a roof covering to the outdoor patio areas. Unfortunately, it rained during our stay. The location was great. Thank you.

LOVED IT!....

The House was great for us....plenty of room to spread out....best part was the VIEWS....not only of the close mountain ranges surrounding the property, but the city twinkle light views at night and the mountainous sky line of Phoenix which is always spectacular...this property was surrounded by all.....the kids loved the plastic table....took it everywhere....set it front of the TV and made forts out of it....Thank you to the property owners for the hospitality in making things comfortable in the home. The home was on the 'retro' side and brought back memories of what my father would have built.... Please accept my apology for forgetting to turn on the dishwasher when I left....but I did some of the laundry.hopefully that makes up for my forgetfulness ......Diann

Desert Peace with North Scottsdale Amenities Next Door

Great home space for our family and a relaxing, secluded desert location. But not isolated - so close to all that North Scottsdale offers. Easy access to the resort for golfing, Pinnacle Peak hikes and all those restaurants. Like being in the desert away from it all, but actually you aren't.
